Some other canopy components include <i>Quercus nigra, Carya cordiformis</i> (in more mesic examples), <i>Carya pallida</i> (in drier ones), <i>Fraxinus americana, Liriodendron tulipifera</i>, and <i>Liquidambar styraciflua</i>. The subcanopy may contain <i>Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera, Cornus florida, Nyssa sylvatica, Morus rubra, Celtis occidentalis, Ostrya virginiana, Acer rubrum, Diospyros virginiana, Prunus serotina, Ulmus alata</i>, and/or <i>Quercus velutina</i>. <i>Fagus grandifolia</i> may be present in any of the woody strata but will not be dominant or codominant.
